Gujarat Titans chase down 154 at Mohali to beat Punjab Kings by 6 wickets
Gujarat Titans beat Punjab Kings by 6 wickets at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali on 13 April 2023. Punjab Kings posted 153 for 8 after being put in to bat, a total that fell well short of the venue's average first-innings score of 211 across 101 matches. Gujarat's chase was built on a commanding powerplay: 56 for 1 after 6 overs. They never looked troubled, losing only 3 more wickets on the way to the target. MM Sharma was named Player of the Match.
The toss proved influential. Gujarat Titans won it and chose to field, a call consistent with Mohali's tendency: captains opt to field 60% of the time here, and chasing sides win 58% of matches at the ground. Punjab were on the wrong side of both those numbers by the final over.

Angles the data surfaced
- Chasing teams at Mohali win 58% of the time across 101 matches, so toss-and-field strategies tend to carry editorial relevance in pre-match markets here.
- With Punjab posting 153 against a venue average of 211, top-batter markets for the batting side may have been less predictable than the outright result lines suggested.
- MM Sharma's Player of the Match award points to individual performance markets having value in fixtures where one player shapes a result across phases.
- The death-overs phase (4 wickets for 54 runs for Punjab) underlines why bowling phase markets at high-scoring venues can diverge significantly from pre-match expectations.
